OPERATION
POWER INDICATOR ON BATTERY PACK
This lithium-ion battery pack is equipped with a power indicator, which indicates the charge capacity level of the battery pack. Press the power indicator to display the charge level. The LED indicator will shine for 10 seconds.
- The green light indicates that the battery pack is over 15% of its charge capacity.
- The red light indicates low voltage of the battery pack.
- The blinking red light indicates that the battery pack is nearly depleted and needs to be charged immediately.
BATTERY PROTECTION
The battery circuitry protects the battery pack from extreme temperature, over discharge, and over-charge. To protect the battery from damage and prolong its life, the battery pack circuitry will turn off the battery pack if it becomes overloaded or if the temperature becomes too high during use. This may happen in extremely high torque, binding, and stalling situations. The battery pack will shut down with power indicator flashing orange for 10s when its operating temperature exceeds 158°F (70°C), and will begin normal operation when it returns to 152°F (67°C).
NOTICE: A significantly reduced run time after fully charging the battery pack indicates that the batteries are near the end of their usable life and must be replaced.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
This Lithium-Ion battery pack will provide optimal performance in temperatures between 41°F (5°C) and 104°F (40°C). When the battery pack is very cold, it may “pulse” for the first minute of use to warm itself. Put the battery pack on a tool and use the tool in a light application. After about a minute, the battery pack will have warmed itself and will operate normally.
WHEN TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK
NOTICE: Lithium-Ion battery packs are shipped partially charged. Before using it the first time, fully charge the battery pack.
